7.12 Setting the emissivity
7.12.1 General
To measure temperatures accurately, the camera must be aware of the type of surface you
are measuring. You can choose between the following surface properties:
• Matt.
• Semi-matt.
• Semi-glossy.
As an alternative, you can set a custom emissivity value.
For more information about emissivity, see section 15 Thermographic measurement tech-
niques, page 59.

7.13 Changing the reflected apparent
temperature
7.13.1 General
This parameter is used to compensate for the radiation reflected by the object. If the emis-
sivity is low and the object temperature significantly different from that of the reflected tem-
perature, it will be important to set and compensate for the reflected apparent temperature
correctly.
For more information about the reflected apparent temperature, see section 15 Thermo-
graphic measurement techniques, page 59.
